We consider a boundary value problem consisting of the one-dimensional parabolic equationgut=(hux)x+q, where g, h and q are functions of x, subject to some general boundary conditions. By developing a maximum principle for the boundary value problem, rather than the equation, we prove the uniqueness of a nonnegative solution that depends continuously on boundary values.

The general Lie point transformation group and the associated reduced differential equations and similarity forms for the solutions are derived here for the coupled (nonlinear) Vlasov–Maxwell equations in one spatial dimension. The case of one species in a background is shown to admit a larger group than the multi-species case. Previous exact solutions are shown to be special cases of the above solutions, and many of the new solutions are found to constrain the form of the distribution function much more than, for example, the BGK solutions do. The individual generators of the Lie group are used to find the possible subgroups. Finally, a simple physical argument is given to show that the asymptotic solution (t→∞) for a one-species, one-dimensional plasma is one of the general similarity solutions.

In this paper we are interested in the study of the null controllability for the one dimensional degenerate non autonomous parabolic equation$$u_{t}-M(t)(a(x)u_{x})_{x}=h\chi_{\omega},\qquad  (x,t)\in Q=(0,1)\times(0,T),$$ where $\omega=(x_{1},x_{2})$ is asmall nonempty open subset in $(0,1)$, $h\in L^{2}(\omega\times(0,T))$, the diffusion coefficients $a(\cdot)$ isdegenerate at $x=0$ and $M(\cdot)$ is non degenerate on $[0,T]$. Also the boundary conditions are considered tobe Dirichlet or Neumann type related to the degeneracy rate of $a(\cdot)$. Under some conditions on the functions$a(\cdot)$ and $M(\cdot)$, we prove some global Carleman estimates which will yield the  observability inequalityof the associated adjoint system and equivalently the null controllability of our parabolic equation.
